Each picture is actually ambiguous.
Is this her right leg sweeping anti clockwise? or her left leg coming at you?
Depends where your brain cuts off the leg or extends the leg up:
So it's a whole series of ambiguous frames. As still frames you can take time and switch the image around. But animated. Whoa. |

Those three frames would make an equally shadowy, old man very very happy for a very very long time.
Vilken tuttar! As they say in Swedish. |

| Got her spinning counter clockwise, but it took three spinning ladies and reading something just to the right of the middle one before I could see it. |

Gah. This thing hurts my brain. I love optical illusions, and I can usually see them pretty easily, but this one took a while. It was all clockwise for me over the course of a few days. I was convinced you were all crazy. Now it's only counter-clockwise and won't go back.
I have a headache.... 
Here's my favorite optical illusion. Stare at the black dot at the center of the inverted picture of the castle. After a while it will switch to a color version of the picture....right? Nope, if you refocus your eyes you'll realize that the picture was black and white all along but your brain tricked you into thinking it was in color.

Scroll so that you can only see the very top of her head. The pony tail should dip out of frame briefly (on the right), but you can always see the top of her head
With some practice you can then control her direction at will just by looking at this part. Just visualise the way you want the ponytail to go when it reappears in the frame (on the left), and it should follow your visualization. |

That's cool. I think that's because of the persistence of vision. We all have a blind spot but we don't notice because the visual system remembers the visual image long enough. It's why when things move really quickly you don't just see big blurs (as a camera would). Coming back to the original illusion, it's also why you see her moving. She's not. She's just a bunch of individual photo frames. |
